Surya to do a cameo in ‘Chennaiyil Oru Naal’

The Tamil remake of Traffic, which was a super hit film in Malayalam, has been in the news for over a year now. The latest buzz is that Surya has been roped in to act in the Kollywood version. Surya, who is busy with his next multilingual film ‘Singam 2’ directed by Hari, will not be doing the lead role instead will be doing a cameo in the ‘Traffic’ remake for which he has already shot his portions. Though Surya’s role was not there in the original version, the makers of the film decided to rope in the Ghajini star to increase the value of the product. The film has been titled as ‘Chennaiyil Oru Naal’. The film also features Sarathkumar, Cheran, Prasanna, Mithun, Nassar, Radhika Sarathkumar, Manobala and Parvathi Menon in the cast. The upcoming Tamil movie is to be directed by Shaheed Kader and produced by Radhika Sarathkumar. It was earlier reported that Kamal Hassan would star in the remake of ‘Chennaiyil Oru Naal’, which is expected to hit the screens in January 2013, and he had also expressed his wish to star in the film but it did not happen, as the actor took up ‘Vishwaroopam’.
